Given expression :
4\sqrt6 +2\sqrt6 -\sqrt6.

We need to simplify it.

We can see we have all like radicals of
\sqrt6.

So, we can just add or subtract the front numbers of
\sqrt6.

Adding 4 + 2 we get 6.

Therefore,
4\sqrt6 +2\sqrt6 = 6\sqrt6.

Now,
-\sqrt6 = -1\sqrt6.

Therefore,


4\sqrt6 +2\sqrt6 -\sqrt6 =6\sqrt6 -1\sqrt6.

Now, we can subtract 6 -1, we get 5.


6\sqrt6 -1\sqrt6 = 5 \sqrt6.

Therefore, correct option is A option: 5√6.
